Teddy's Desert Island Fics
Jul. 6th, 2013 11:36 pmA conversation on FB about favourite stories got me to thinking. I love the SSHG ship; I believe in it, I champion it, and I'm proud to write it. I fight for the integrity of it, and applaud and fangirl its writers.
I have read literally hundreds of fics. Some have been incredibly good. Some have been so bad I didn't get past the first chapter. Some left me bereft that I will never write with that much eloquence and beauty.
It made me think - what are my favourite SSHG fics of all time? What are the ones that I re-read over and over, or read only once and was so stunned, I locked it away, only to read in case of emergency and I have to read something powerful enough to jump start my heart?
And mostly, in the unlikely event that I became stranded on a desert island with only my e-reader and its charger for company, what are the fics I would want on it? These aren't necessarily the classics or the most popular fics of our ship, just the ones that I return to again and again. These are my go-to's, my comfort food fics, the ones on constant rotation on my Kindle.
So here, in a bit of order, are my top twelve (cause I can't count) favourite SSHG fics. Some are playful, some are just sexy, some will tear your heart out. I will put a link when I can find it. I'm sure there are tons more to add to this list, but as of today, July 6, 2013, these are the ones that came to mind.
